My dark story The Boulevardier appeared in the Meerkat Press anthology, Love Hurts, edited by Tricia Reeks. It is just up now live on PseudoPod podcast. I am really digging the super cool narration by Halloween Bloodfrost. It even comes with its own violence and yuckiness warning, yay! Listen (and read) here, at PseudoPod # […]
Why read when somebody else (including me) can do it for you? Put your ears to work, and give your eyes a rest. Here are four stories of mine narrated by me or others, available for your listening pleasure for free out there on the interwebs: Born Free – Tales to Terrify #463 The gods […]
Very happy to have had a story picked up for broadcast on Pseudopod in 2021. Details to follow once the contract is signed. It has been a bit of a dry run this year, so this news is good, and I am at work on a new batch of stories, including my first werewolf tale. […]
I loved that film! From a time before Superintendent Ted Hastings was running down bent coppers and anyone who doesn’t do things by the book. See the picture, Adrian Dunbar can smile. “I’ve been born in peace time. I haven’t been where you’ve been. I haven’t seen what you’ve seen.” I digress, we’re talking about […]

I’m sure that all of the Escape Artist podcasts are worthy, but Pseudopod is the only one which has accepted a story of mine, so I’m very happy to mention their 10th anniversary kickstarter. They are so very close to meeting their target, head on over and check it out, and throw in a few […]
Submissions require an author bio. I struggle with this. I look to others for inspiration. Some people include a half page of whimsy, at which I cringe, and have no publication credits, because they have not published anything. Others have a stream of credits, and of course, I can’t emulate that. Some list all the […]
My story ‘Good Boy’ has been published by Pseudopod. Here is a link, it is about 19 minutes in. I wrote many things over many years. I have boxes of notes and drafts. Occasionally I’d submit stories and collect rejection slips. Life, laziness, children, career, fear, all got in the way of taking things further. […]
I read Derek Kunsken’s “The Dog’s Paw” in Ellen Datlow’s latest Best Horror of the Year. It is a true horror story, with startling imagery, and a presentation of a topsy turvey world that filled me with unease. I saw today that it is now available for listening on Pseudopod. I am still not sure […]
